המסנק (if one presses/scrapes up [the mud] against the sides of the pool) – like removing [to the corners] (see Tractate Shabbat, Chapter 20, Mishnah 4) – that he removes the mud to one side. But not that he detached the mud from the water, but rather within the water, he removed it to one side. For if he had removed it (i.e., the mud) from the water, it would be considered like it is drawn [water], and if they pulled from it three LOG, it invalidates the Mikveh. But this is specifically when there aren’t forty Seah in the Mikveh, this is when the three LOG of drawn water invalidates the Mikveh, but if there were forty Seah in it (i.e., the Mikveh), even all the drawn water in the world would not invalidate it.
ור' שמעון מכשיר – because he does not intend for drawing [water] but rather to remove the mud to another place. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.
המסנק. כמו המסלק. שמסלק את הטיט לצד אחד. ולא שתלש הטיט מן המים, אלא בתוך המים סילקו לצד אחד. שאם תלשו מן המים נחשב כשאוב, ואם משכו ממנו שלשה לוגין פוסל את המקוה. ודוקא כשאין במקוה ארבעים סאה, הוא דשלשה לוגין מים שאובין פוסלין את המקוה. אבל אם היו בו ארבעים סאה, אין כל מים שאובין שבעולם פוסלין אותו:
ור׳ שמעון מכשיר. משום דאין מתכוין לשאיבה אלא לסלק את הטיט למקום אחד. ואין הלכה כר׳ שמעון:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

של לוג לוג – one LOG in each hole/indentation.
שלא הגיעו לגומא שלישית כשר – for it is like for him a complete Mikveh in which three LOG of drawn water fell into it that did not invalidate it, but here also, in a Mikveh/ritual bath of forty Seah prior to the [drawn] water arriving into the third hole/indentation, the Mikveh was not invalidated.
סמוך למקוה – is like a kosher ritual bath/Mikveh that is adjacent to [water] that is drawn, that this stands/remains in its kosher/fit status and this [other body of water] remains in its invalid status, but here also, the water that is in the holes is like they are considered as standing on their own and not as combined/mixed. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.
של לוג לוג. לוג אחד בכל גומא:
עד שלא הגיעו לגומא שלישית כשר. דהוי ליה כמקוה שלם שנפלו לתוכו שלשה לוגין מים שאובין דלא פסלוהו, והכא נמי הואיל והיו במקוה ארבעים סאה קודם שהגיעו המים לגומא שלישית, לא נפסל המקוה:
כמקוה סמוך למקוה. כמקוה כשר הסמוך לשאוב, שזה עומד בכשרותו וזה עומד בפסלותו, והכא נמי המים שבגומות כעומדים בפני עצמם חשיבי ולא כמעורבין. ואין הלכה כר׳ שמעון:
